DUFF (the Down Under Fan Fund) helps Australasian fans to visit North American fans and Worldcons, and, on alternate trips, North American fans to return the favor. The fund was started in 1972 and continues on an approximately annual basis. Winners have come from, or visited, both Australia and New Zealand. DUFF is patterned after TAFF, with fund winners being co-administrators of the fund until the next winner on their respective continent returns from a trip. DUFF winners, like winners of other fan funds, are expected to publish a trip report.
There are fan funds that require candidates to pledge that if elected they will, barring force majeure attend the target convention. DUFF, as of 2012, appears not to be such a fund, Murray Moore that year having pledged that if elected he would not attend the Australian Natcon.
The most unusual candidate ever to be nominated for DUFF was probably the Rogers Street Laundry Door (the laundry door of a Melbourne slanshack at 3 Rogers Street). There was a write-in campaign in support of the Door for the 1988 DUFF Race. The Door was ruled ineligible.
